Three Days of Cryin' interviews Rick Burleson. Rick was the first round pick for my 1979 Strat-o-Matic team, the Pinto Hatchbacks.

Burleson was your FIRST ROUND PICK!! Does Stratomatic factor "intangibles" or was there something about his .248/.295/.339 in 1978 that uniquely appealed to you. :)

It was the 1979 season. .278/.315/.368, but he was by far the best defensive shortstop available. The people behind me in the draft moaned when I picked him because they both wanted him.

David, is your title "Rooster crows" a reference to the Black Crowes song "No speak, No slave"?
